    Basically, it's people who romanticize 19th century Gilded Age libertarianism/"rugged Western man living off the land" type of crap. You know what else we didn't have back then? Flush toilets and television; you sure to want to go back?

      I agree making ammo super-expensive is not an ideal solution. Though it would be pretty awesome if we could slap a 5-10% tax on every sale of cartridges/shells (and the raw materials to make them), and put all the money it raised into funding social programs that aim to reduce gun violence. Good luck getting that passed, though.
      I could live with a 10% tax on ammo. Keep in mind it would be a regressive tax.

        That’s debatable. The gun nuts I know that do the most shooting are wealthy people. A single box of 30-06 ammo lasts me 2 years. Although when I picture Leroy M. Redneck out on the weekend with his AR, his only larger expenses than ammo are probably beer and gas. So it’s debatable.

          The NRA/congressional push to ban bump stocks gives me the creeps a little bit. Not because it shouldn’t be done but because while they’re all slapping each other on the back about solving murder, we’re only addressing the most marginal of symptoms of a sick society in that particular accessory. It’s barely a start.

                I think that concealed carry reciprocity is going to be part of the bill.

                        I saw a good stat on Twitter the other day: murder rate per 1,000 guns. Given the large amount of guns we own we were way down the list.

                              What makes that a good stat? I bet given the large amount of McDonalds we have, we are way down on the list of heart attacks per McDonalds too. But I'm not sure why that would be a good statistic.

                                There are lies, dam lies, and statistics.
                                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
